Electrolytic Reduction of Low Molecular Weight Chlorinated Aliphatic Compounds: Structural and Thermodynamic Effects on Process Kinetics

Article Abstract:

The process of using zero-valent metal for electrolytic reduction of chlorinated solvents is ready for field application in funnel-and-gate systems for groundwater treatment and protection, although some questions regarding the mechanisms of dehalogenation and kinetics remain.

Carbon Isotope Fractionation during Anaerobic Biodegradation of Toluene: Implications for Intrinsic Bioremediation

Article Abstract:

One method used to clean up hydrocarbons that have become groundwater contaminants is biodegradation. The authors used laboratory experiments to evaluate the carbon isotope fractionation that toluene biodegradation produces.

Acetone-photosensitized reduction of carbon tetrachloride by 2-propanol in aqueous solution

Article Abstract:

Researchers from the University of Arizona were able to reduce the halogenation of carbon tetrachloride and convert it to chloroform by adding the compound to a solution of acetone and 2-propanol and exposing it to a 75 W Xe lamp.
